Another one of these sensationalist "WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?" - type arguments? Doesn't this ever get old?
Oh well. I guess there has to be at least one of these for every GTA game released.
And for the record - Global cooling is potentially a much more dangerous trend than global warming could ever be. |
So basically you believe 100% gun ownership would reduce crime, which might be reasonable if everyone could be relied upon. And i'm saying 0% gun ownership would also reduce crime. Now regardless of whether or not there was 100% or 0% gun ownership in the general public, the organised criminals would get their way to them somehow (unless guns were completely removed from the world, which is incredibly unlikely to happen). So I guess that will never go away. I'll still stick with my viewpoint that the 0% gun uptake would be superior to the 100%, as living in fear is bull, the crime for regular citizens would be less as humans can be incredibly eratic at times, and the organised crime wouldn't go away. They'd just learn how to kill you in more efficient manners. |
I think you meant to quote me... but anywayz... Yes, I believe that 100% gun ownership would be more beneficial than 0%. An armed populace can enforce what it believes in. A disarmed populace will either get bent over and ... well... or die trying to stand up for themselves. I believe that most Americans (I can't speak for other countries) are very reliable in a pinch. The Old West is looked upon as a very dangerous time, but really it was extremely safe as far as gun ownership was concerned. BTW, who brought up organised crime...? I was talking your average run-of-the-mill criminal who has a gun. I would feel much safer if I owned a gun while walking around in unfriendly territory, than if I didn't own a gun in the same area. |
Yes I did ;d. I'll agree to disagree with you on the whole 100% or 0% stuff, but why does the USA have more gun crime than anywhere else in the western world, per head? Is there something fundementally wrong with your society? http://www.gun-control-network.org/GF01.htm |
Yup, it is a fundemental loss and now lacking of strong male presence in the home and in entertainment for kinds to look up to as role models. We have more people getting drugs and thinking that they are becoming sane with rittilin and prozac. We are drugging ourselves to death. We have a lack of leadership in our country and teh only people we can look to is ourselves and friends these days. The government is broken and willing to break the soul of America by over-taxation and over-regulation. We praise sluts and whores who parade as normal people. We are fascinated by people who use drugs to cope with an unhappy lifestyle and follow all their love interests. We are addicted to porn and belittling women and teaching girls the way to happiness and fun is to get naked as early as possible and have fun with boys.
So yes, there is something wrong with our society. It started during the great depression. It started with the Great Society. It started with government.
